A tongue-in-cheek thriller, a couple of contrasting musicals and a pair of sharp dramas make up the 2013 main-stage season at Lamb's Players Theatre, the Coronado-based company that appears to be finding its feet again after a financially challenging (but still artistically solid) past couple of years.

Here's the coming lineup for Lamb's resident theater in Coronado. (The long-running revue "miXtape" also has been extended yet again at the company's downtown location, the Horton Grand Theatre, through Dec. 15.)

• “Pete ‘n’ Keely," Jan. 18 to March 3, 2013 (opens Jan. 25): Eileen Bowman, a comic standout in Lamb's recent productions of "Guys and Dolls" and "Joe vs. the Volcano," teams with the ever-entertaining Phil Johnson (who just closed an impressive run in Cygnet's "Mistakes Were Made") in this off-Broadway musical comedy. The pair will play a cheesy TV singing duo who've reunited after an epic breakup.

• "Damien," March 22 to May 5 (opens March 29): Lamb's producing artistic director Robert Smyth steps back into a role he has played numerous times over the past 25-plus years: that of Father Damien, the priest who ministered to the lepers of Molokai in the 1880s. This will be the first Lamb's production of the solo show since 2000.

• "Fiddler On The Roof," May 17 to June 30 (opens May 24): Lamb's returns to the landmark musical for the first time since 1985.

• "The 39 Steps," Aug. 9 to Sept. 22: Patrick Barlow adapted the classic Hitchcock film into a witty and inventive stage piece that was a hit in London and on Broadway (and had a strong run at La Jolla Playhouse in 2009.) As with "Fiddler," there's no word yet on casting or a director for the Lamb's production.
